A.6.3. Multi-Day Day Events

Some servers support multi-day All Day events and treat them as entries that spans across a few days. For devices that support multi-day All day events, the entry will be displayed in the same manner as it is on the server.

Unfortunately many devices that support All Day Events do not support them across multiple days. For such cases the server has to do something appropriate. Refusing to send such day events is one solution or perhaps the entry is displayed on the device as a one day event, but the string “~(x)” is appended to the title field, where x is the number of days that entry spans across. For example: If the device does not support multi-day events, then creating one on the server with the title “Multi-Day Event” that spans across 5 days will be displayed on the device as a one day Day Event with the title “Multi-Day Event ~(5)”. When testing multi-day day events it is important to understand what the device can support and what the server does to compensate.
